Funded PhD studentships in Mathematics and Statistics

Several full-time three-year PhD studentships in Mathematics and Statistics are available, commencing 1 October 2019. Studentships cover full-time fees, include a stipend (£14,999 per annum in 2019-20), plus £1250 annual travel allowance. Self-funded part-time PhD study is also available for some projects.

Situated on the OU Campus in Milton Keynes, the School of Mathematics and Statistics provides a friendly and flexible working environment for all of its staff and students, and holds a Bronze Athena SWAN award. We particularly welcome applications from women: the School ensures that every female PhD student is allocated a female member of staff as a point of contact, and organises networking events for female academic staff and PhD students.

Several research projects are available, covering topics in pure and applied mathematics, theoretical physics, Bayesian statistics and mathematics education. Full details of projects and further information are available from:
